For that sort of money you could probably get a better set of speakers for half the price, and use an Airport Express to go wireless with them. You can just plug any set of speakers with a standard 3.5mm stereo jack into the back of the airport, and it'll join your existing WiFi network and act as a range booster too.

That's what we did at work - a proper decent amp connected to some Sony Brookland Edition floorstanders. I love working late and cranking it up

So, I've got a laptop or ipod with all my music on in the lounge, I've got a stereo in the kitchen.... What happens?

You plug in the Airport into the stereo (whatever input you have spare) and that input is the channel for your PC/iPhone or whatever device you are using. You then select which output speakers you want the device to play through so (for example) you choose to play your iPad via Airplay.

1:Plug Airport Express into the wall near the stereo.
2:Connect to stereo with Phono to 3.5mm jack lead.
3:Desktop/laptop/Phone/iPad with iTunes can now send music wirelessly to your stereo.

You can have other airports connected to other stereos or powered speakers or amp/speakers combos.

iTunes or the app on a phone etc., lets you choose which to play tunes through.
